seen the converter think there a load of s***t to be honest,they just don't look safe and your wheels will be all offset which will affect steering and lowering the car!

I have looked at the racelines was gonna get them and spray em black but if i was gonna get 3 studs i'd get the compomotive mo's!

I looked at doing that with my 3 stud spoke to local garage about it but aint got spare cash!!.

Apparently the front disc is straight swap but would need NEW hubnuts.

If u got rear calipers then the same applies for the rear discs.
If u got drums then u need to get complete rear beam and as much of the brake cable as poss again u need to get new hubnuts and grease caps.
Speak to local garage about this if u serious. This is wot mine said to me anyway.

Hope this helps. Like to know how u get on!
